IAG JUN 2020年6月 亞博匯 89 Cheers解釋道，「當一台角子機需整理或信用額度為零時，該 模組可即時通知場內工作人員或消毒清潔人員，然後工作人員可 在數秒內到場為機組清毒，確保玩家的安全。」 「在新冠肺炎疫情下，增添這消毒功能以確保設備清潔是十 分適用的。我們相信當玩家看到這積極及迅速的清潔程序時，會 感到這博彩環境是安全的。當整個亞洲地區的博彩場所重新開放 時，玩家應該會傾向認為有關娛樂場是安全的場所。」 Cheers表示，新冠肺炎疫情爆發，以及隨之而來的出入境限 制和業務運作影響，令該企需跳出框框思考，例如設立網上陳列 室，讓非澳門的客戶也可檢視旗下產品的數據資料及影片，有關 遊戲示範或系統功能等。 談到2020年餘下時間，Cheers稱，「新冠肺炎疫情確實影響了 我們部分產品的發行時間，但值得慶幸的是，我們的產品計劃尤 其是澳門的規劃是具有前瞻性的，所以疫情並未影響到2020年的 總體計劃。雖然疫情對我們2021年初期的計劃或有短暫影響，但 我們相信可在2021年稍後時間追趕回來。」 「雖然當我們業務取得成功並希望將這勢頭帶到2020年時， 就爆發了新冠疫情，但我向工作團隊表示，一定還有新一波業務發 展勢頭，只要我們表現良好，我們很快可以回復到以前的水平。」 特寫 Cheers notes that the onset of COVID-19 and subsequent restrictions on travel and business operations has prompted thinking outside the box, such as linking customers based outside Macau to a digital showroom in which they can access full product data and video, including demonstrations of games or systems functionality. As for the rest of 2020, “COVID has certainly pushed some of our product release timeframes but we are fortunate, in particular in Macau, that our product plan is so forward looking that it hasn’t affected our total pipeline for 2020,” says Cheers. “While it may have a short-term impact in the early stages of 2021 we believe we can pick that up later in 2021. “COVID-19 came while we were riding a successful wave and looking to continue that through 2020, but one thing I have said to our team is that there will always be another wave. As long as we are performing well we will soon get back to those levels again.”
